David Byrne reviews Sunday's Sufjan Stevens Town Hall hit (we saw the Saturday show):
I also felt was what I can only describe as a kind of Protestant reserve and reticence. Sufjan’s voice — most of the time a fragile introverted whisper (see also Chet Baker or João Gilberto) — was juxtaposed in this case with the emotional and even majestic spiritual release of his string and brass melodies. As if what he was feeling inside, but couldn’t express, was expressed in these instrumental passages.
Plus: Oxypoet on Fishbone at CBGB last week. This incarnation of the band isn't quite as happening as the lineup from the glory days, but Angelo still brings it. And Dub Trio were absolutely killing.
